Best bits? This is good! It was a hell of a lot more fun than the third installment (although, less odd). It's back-to-basics this time around in almost a remake of the original film. There's a nice introduction of a redneck lynch-mob out for revenge and Dr. Loomis is back (having only suffered minimal burns from being blown up in part 2) and on good whiney form. This time Myers, not knowing where Laurie lives anymore, just goes back home again to get his 10 year old niece and what follows is some good old fashioned slash-and-hack cinema. There is an interesting, if confusing surprise ending here too.
Did it make you think thoughts? I was wondering whilst watching this, why it had such little violence or gore for a Halloween film. I read afterwards that the two gory scenes were filmed in one day after shooting had ended to spice up the scare level. Basically, they are Myers just crushed peoples faces.
Would you watch it again? Definitely, it's probably the second best film of the series so far. I was really expecting a sliding scale after number three. Good acting and actors in this installment too, and some hilariously eighties promiscuous teens.
Rating (out of 100%): 72% Myers is back on track. But for how long?
